This is the Assessment Department of WikiProject Colorado. The department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Colorado articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Colorado}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Colorado articles by quality and Category:Colorado articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist (Index · Statistics · Log).

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below:

• Unaweep Canyon, consider reassessing page, in light of new edits, and also, owing to its importance as perhaps a globally unique canyon (only canyon reported with two outlets), and possible geologic importance (deep-time climate change).(old request from bottom of this page) LanceBarber (talk) 04:49, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

B-class failed, auto C-class. Needs photos of geological formations, outcrops, and/or crosscuts to support the hypothesis section. Get permission from refs to reproduce. LanceBarber (talk) 05:59, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• 14th Test Squadron, new article re: Air Force reserve unit at Schriever AFB, CO

B-review ratining done. (Added {{USAF}} and SpcCmd info templates at bottom). Cheers, LanceBarber (talk) 23:32, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• John W. Metzger - I greatly expanded the article and believe it is more than stub class now. Thanks, Killian441 (talk) 21:37, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did B-review, failed. C-rating. Aritcle expansion well done! Needs a couple of more general statements in the intro part before Early Life section, suggest a Persons infobox and a pic. Main sections, refs and cats excellant. I'll leave it open for next review. thanks. Cheers, LanceBarber (talk) 23:59, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Gunnison County, Colorado, presently stub class. I've added sections and expanded article per WikiProject U.S. counties. Also, I am acquiring information for new sections geology, and other. Would like some suggestions for improvements. Draconrex (talk) 03:25, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article is looking good. Gave it a C-rating. I would recommend adding Government/Economy section and cleaning up the lead and the references. -Killian441 (talk) 18:54, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Denver Tramway presently a stub. I expanded the history section and added a section for their fleet and facilities. -Killian441 (talk) 18:17, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• History of Denver - Presently C rated. I have significantly updated the article over the last few months and think it qualifies for a higher rating now. Thanks, Killian441 (talk) 23:06, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Add request above this line, use scratch html, indent your comment(s), and sign it. Please read below for more details.

How can I get my article rated?

Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.

Who can assess articles?

Any member of WikiProject Colorado is free to add or change the rating of an article.

Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments?

Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.

What if I don't agree with a rating?

You can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.

Aren't the ratings subjective?

Yes, they are, but it's the best system we've been able to devise; if you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.
